RadioWest and Plan-B Theatre return our radio drama series to the Halloween season with this year's Radio Hour Episode 9: Grimm. Playwright Matthew Ivan Bennett has adapted three beloved Grimm Brother stories to their original, dark tellings: Little Snow-White, Rapunzel, and The Juniper Tree. We'll broadcast the performance live at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, and we'll air it again Thursday at 11:00 a.m.

Watch the production unfold as part of the live studio audience. Tickets are available through ArtTixonline or at 801.355.ARTS

At 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, we're rebroadcasting our conversation about Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm with scholar Maria Tartar. Tatar says fairy tales are continually adapted to embody the cultural values of their time and place, and each retelling captures the values of the teller. You can catch that conversation again Thursday night at 7:00 or listen to the podcast here.
